Reviewers mostly say Warp becomes their default terminal once they try it, praising its speed, block-based history, workflows, customization, and especially AI help for suggesting commands, writing scripts, and handling routine tasks. Several users say it replaced iTerm, Terminal, or even parts of their tmux workflow, and some like its cross-platform use and responsive team. The clearest complaints are about friction around required login and onboarding surveys, plus some rough edges in autocomplete, subshell support, hotkeys, and pricing for teams.

What's great

Git integration (1)workflow management (1)terminal as IDE (3)

Love Warp. It's become my go to terminal on my MacBook and Mac Studio.

I love the automatic command and navigation suggestions. Sometimes, the suggestions give you a chuckle, but all in good fun.

The git integration is good too.

What needs improvement

I guess their goal is to get me to subscribe. As a fellow entrepreneur, I get it, and I want to support them. I think I will, down the line :-).

I am not sure I like the side panel for new sessions, but they might going for an equivalency to chat interfaces.

vs Alternatives

Mac Terminal, of course.
I installed a few others like Zed, but Warp is it.

I switched to Warp after being a long-time user of iTerm. After I saw Warp's use of blocks a few years back, I wanted to test it out. Due to a device limitation, I couldn't, but after that was resolved, I started to use Warp and haven't looked back since. Now we're in the age of AI Agents and MCP. And the launch of Warp 2.0 has not disappointed. Warp has seen the trends and taken its time implementing them, and it shows. The new Agentic Development Environment fits nicely into Warp's use of blocks and features like secret redaction. Warp has not only maintained its position as my preferred terminal, but will now also be my guide into the age of AI-assisted development. I'm sure I will continue to use Warp for many years to come, I don't see a reason not to.

I'm really proud to say I've been using Warp since early beta, and have been on their paid/AI plan since it was first offered. I work on macOS, Ubuntu and Windows, so having Warp on all platforms is my saving grace. Using the terminal as an IDE is a new skill I'm developing. Since VScode doesn't really let your integrate Warp into their terminal, I'm not sure if Warp will one day be my primary IDE (hoping for some future there). My favorite feature is "Warpify" your shell into WSL or when you SSH into your VPS (boom)... powerful mang!

It started out great, but the forced login and survey does it for me. Sure, I will login if it improves my experience on your app, and especially if I already like it -- but I hate being forced to go through it when I'm trying to get something done. It doesn't end there either, we have a long mandatory survey with mandatory questions, and a tiny hidden skip button for some of the questions. Why put the skip button there at all if you're so desperate to have people answer your survey? For fairness to Warp, the configuration for the app was reset after I had to reset my macOS password, and the keychains were removed / not synched yet. It is a one time step when you first install the app, but I continue to dislike being made to go through that long process for a terminal.

Hi Naved, thank you so much for your feedback. The survey is optional, but it's our bad this is not obvious enough. We're going to refresh that survey, and hopefully we can win you back then.

Warp is a good terminal. It is fast and reliable. It works well with multiple tabs and makes tab switching easy. It also has a ton of preset commands and allows you to create your own presets workflows. However its auto complete is not great. One thing that I miss in particular is auto-complete for git commands. For example, when pushing to a remote repository for the first time, you usually use: "git push -u origin ", unfortunately when I type "git push -u origin " with the name of the current branch. It instead uses the name of another one, and only presents the correct suggestion after pressing tab. This can be confusing at times, since you might set the wrong remote branch by mistake. Handling git was something that their competitor, Fig, did very well. Personally, I would like to have a similar experience on Warp. Also, the hotkeys are sometimes unintuitive, for example, when you get an auto-complete suggestion, you have to press the right arrow to accept it, because pressing tab will open the auto-complete menu.

I've been using Warp for a couple months now and it has completely changed my development flow (for the better!). I am a heavy terminal user, most of my development flow lives in the terminal. I was also a heavy TMUX user, but with Warp I've basically replaced my TMUX flow with Warp's default functionality. It's easy to use, it looks great, and it makes finding new functionality extremely easy. The customer support is also great, I had some questions about upcoming features and they were on top of keeping me up to date which I really appreciate.

Warp is a very fast, modern take on what a Terminal program should be, moving away from the old tty model to take advantage of modern features. I found it very easy to work with, it was just missing a few features for me to use as a daily terminal. It is improving rapidly, and the developers are VERY responsive to the community. Keybindings are getting better, and nearly where I need them to be. Some programs that were designed around manipulation of TTY output can have visual problems in Warp, but that is improving as well. The ability to easily grab the output of a command, and a strong workflow system and (multiline!!!) command line history are standout features. As someone who has been using Bash/ZSH after coming from Kornshell in the 80s, the lack of a vi-mode is a bit of a hinderance, but I look forward to integrating that in a true multiline local editing environment.

This project genuinely changed the way I work with a terminal. I get work done faster, I don't have to faff around with searching for weird command-line commands thanks to Workflows, I can generate my own commands using natural language through OpenAI and also share output blocks with people as fast as possible. I really like where this project is going and I am really excited to see what's next for Warp in terms of collaboration.

It's amazing. I wish there was something like it for Windows too. The AI part is really useful for writing those verbose commands or helping remember that flag you rarely need in a command, but when you need it, it's the only way. Also, just being able to navigate around with the VSCode keybindings is a game changer. Also, the way it groups, segments the command history makes navigating through your history a breeze

I love warp. I didn't think I would want command line AI, but damn if it doesn't guess my next command pretty darn well. And when I needed it to retag some docker containers for GCP I just told it what I wanted and the suggestion was spot on.
